    Hammocking, where to start?

    As an alternative you could look at Amok Equipment (www.amokequipment.eu) Draumr hammock XL (if you're tall)I'm 6'4'' and a side sleeper and the perpendicular (to the ridgeline) hang and completely flat lay were a revelation.

    MTP PCS Goretex jacket. Any opinions?

    I've got both styles. The lightweight one is used as a cycling waterproof and under a Fjallraven jacket when it's tipping down on a walk. The heavier one with the hood is very sturdy and good for working in woods.

    MTP Smock, water beading.

    Does the Smock 2 have zips on the hand warmer pockets? I added them to my Smock 1 and it's DWR is excellent :)

    Fjallraven query

    Thanks for your replies. I'll buy some Greenland wax to add to the proofing in the appropriate areas. I run hot when walking so breathability is important. I've got an army surplus lightweight MVP jacket I'll wear under it if it's stotting down.

    Fjallraven query

    I'm getting a Singi trekking jacket for Christmas and just wondered if it comes pre-waxed at all,or do I need to do that first? Thanks in advance.

    Tbs knives

    I've got the TBS Boar with walnut handle. Had it for two years now and as Forest School leader I use it every day for battening, whittling etc and it's a great knife. I strop it after every day and it's still razor sharp. I've got big hands and the handle is long enough and comfortable too.

    Modded Swiss Army Stove

    Nice one. I painted mine with a rattle can of stove paint so the soot isn't so noticeable.

    Modded Swiss Army Stove

    An 'in the field' test of my Swiss Army Stove that was a Christmas pressie to myself. This was it running on twigs and pine cones. I've also tried hexi blocks, meths and gel fuel. All bring the mug of water to the boil in 5-6 minutes. It lives in a generic Maxpedition clone case and is my new...

    PCS Windproof Smock mod.

    Thanks Tonyuk, I'd heard that, but haven't seen any yet, must be too recent to be on eBay. Cheers Philster, quite easy one you get going, couple of watches on YouTube on how to do a running stitch et voila!

    PCS Windproof Smock mod.

    I've had an army surplus windproof smock for a while now and it's a great bit of kit I use regularly in the woods whilst delivering Forest School sessions. It's stood up to lots of abuse and in itself is also pretty much waterproof (although I also use a surplus lightweight mvp jacket...

    Recommend a parka

    You can get blue (RAF) and black (RN) PCS (personal clothing system) MVP (goretex) smocks quite cheap on Ebay if you know your sizing in CM. It's always height first then chest e.g. 190/112. As said above you'd need a fleece etc underneath
